Nothing compares

Jyoti was a medical student, I wonder at the good she would have done in her country had she lived. I hope her death makes us change the world and bring an end to assaults against women. Like the shooting of innocent babies in Connecticut USA, may her violent shocking death make us wake up to change. Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan tweeted, “Her body has passed away, but her soul shall forever stir our hearts.”
Another example of man’s inhumanity to man. Whether it is an woman in India, young children in America, the shocking violence through the Middle East or a young man in Kings Cross, they are people the same as us, human beings with the right to be safe, happy and free. We are so lucky and must never forget that – cherishing each day, loving each other and being kind.
